Thanks MrP.

Well after 2 hours of anxiety (apparently another offer), my offer was accepted! I had to come up a few grand (probably a shady realtor), but barring any setbacks it's mine.

What a huge relief. If this fell through, I can't imagine too many houses going on the market in the winter, which means I'd have to live with my parents for the next 4-5 months. Ugh.

Can't wait to show son. I think he'll be pretty excited, even though he's still devastated about moving out of our current neighborhood
